Subject: Technical Meeting: Tuesday 12th April 2011
Message-ID: <4D9CACFC.4070809@edwardson.co.uk>
Milton Keynes Perl Mongers will hold its first technical meeting of 2011 on
Tuesday 12th of April at the Open University's Systems Seminar Room.
Arrive at 7pm so the first talk can start promptly at 7.15.
This meeting is open to regular group members, newcomers and anyone else
who would like to listen to the talks. If you can think of anyone who
might like to come, please invite them.
We have a good variety of talks planned including three from Tom !
Here is what is planned
Colin Bradford will be talking about using XML::Compile to generate XML
from schemas
Peter Edwards will talking about adding OAuth to the BBC World Service
Twitter feeder
Tom Hukins will be giving three lightning talks on :-
* Reusing Objects in your Modules
* Git and the MKPM Website
* Identifying bugs in perl with git bisect
I will be talking about my first CPAN module Schedule::Pluggable
and last but not least,
Matt Trout will be gracing us with his presence and giving us the
benefit of his wisdom on a subject yet to be decided
Thanks to all who are giving talks for their time and effort. I'm
certainly looking forward to hearing them.
Finally, remember to arrive at the OU for 7pm on Tuesday 12th of April.
Here's how to find us:
First, find the OU campus as described at
http://www3.open.ac.uk/contact/locations.aspx
Enter the campus (signposted Open University, not Open University East),
via Brickhill Street (V10).
Take the middle lane past Security (on the left), through the barriers,
and then turn right on to Ring Road East.
Ahead you will see the road narrows to single lane on your side of the
road, where there are no entry signs. Just prior to this is the
entrance to a car park on the left (marked Inner East Parking on the
campus map).
Take this left turn and head to the top left (North West on the campus
map) of the car park.
The meeting is in the south east section of the Venables Building,
nearest the Inner East Parking on the campus map.
Take the path (marked in orange on the campus map) west from the car
park toward the centre of campus.
Take a right under an archway in to the courtyard area bound by Venables
South, East, and South East, keeping right (heading North East on the
campus map), behind the building section marked South East.
You will find a double door on your right, which is Entrance G at the
South East section of Venables Building.
We'll see you there, as these are usually access controlled doors, so
you will probably need to be let in.
If you haven't attended one of our meetings at the OU before, you might
want to ask for someone's phone number in case you have trouble finding us.
If you need a lift to the meeting, please ask our mailing list or IRC
channel (see http://miltonkeynes.pmorg/ for details).
I hope to see you there
Tony

Subject: YAPC::EU 2011 Riga, Latvia registration
Message-ID:
A reminder that there are 5 days left for the early bird price on YAPC::EU
2011 which is in Riga, Latvia August 15th-17th
and that now would be a good time to start thinking about booking travel and
accommodation.

I'm looking forward to attending Jonathan Worthington's course on OO
programming with Perl 6 on the Thursday
http://yapceurope.lv/ye2011/talk/3283
If you make a good living as a result of Perl, why not consider helping a
newbie attend: http://www.send-a-newbie.enlightenedperl.org/

Subject: Meeting: Tuesday 19th of April
Message-ID:
The Perl Mongers meeting is less than week away
As ever, it will be held at the Wetherspoons pub, near the railway
station (not the one in the snow dome), next door to Chiquitos:
http://osm.org/go/eu4qJDHoE--
Starting from 7pm, and going on till the last people stumble off home.
We usually inhabit one of the two large tables infront of the curved
benches in front of the bar.
Feel free to bring your $perl_running_device along if you want a hand/to
show off.
